According to a European Parliament resolution adopted in June 2021, Moroccan police temporarily eased controls at the border of Ceuta, the Spanish enclave of about 83,000 people on the North African coast, and failed to stop thousands of people from entering.
The resolution described how roughly 9,000 people entered Ceuta that May, including at least 1,200 unaccompanied children, days after Spain admitted the leader of the Polisario Front for medical treatment.
